'simunitions'? How do you kill someone with a blank?
Bruce Lee's boy and a lot of folks have been killed with blanks at contact or close ranges.
Simunitions can kill if a contact shot.....hostage situation played out , role playing , muzzle to the temple of the victims noggin etc etc ....possible. Rare but possible.
simunitions, if i remember my academy days (not that they were too long ago), are projectiles. recruits dress in a full body foam suit and go through simulations. you can see the soft projectiles. i have hit some and been hit by some. they do not hurt, but on bare skin they would leave a welt or perhaps break the skin. if it goes into your eye, you're done.
Ask Jon-Erik Hexum.
Simunitions are not blanks anyway. They are paintballs sized down to fit in the caliber of the weapon that you are training with.
if there is wadding or material in the barrel at close range blanks can be deadly... ask brandon lee
